Enjoy Your Youth

The praises of heroes and heroines of the past many well may sing But the great gift of youth is a marvelous thing Of their triumphs of the past the ageing and aged may tell But it is on past glories they only can dwell The clock on our lives ever keep ticking fast And enjoy your youth for youth does not last Yesterday to the forever has gone Make the most of the now and life does go on Though the accumulation of money and material possessions adds to one's public and self esteem Success can be a relative thing or so it does seem Your idea of success may be different to mine You have your opinions and that suits me fine Some will tell you we receive from life what is only our due Though others will tell you this is not necessarily true.
